If this is indeed NPHET’s advice, the Government, as is its right, should summarily reject it. It is increasingly hard to deny that NPHET’s zeal is focussed on curtailing Ireland’s hospitality habits, rather than on sensible and practical means to reduce COVID transmission.

While there was some residual slush on the ground, the reception on the doors was anything but icy! ❄️🤣 Thanks to Liam, Darragh and Mark for coming round with me. Do get in touch if we can be of any assistance, see you on the campaign trail!

I was delighted to attend last night’s discussion on the Treaty, hosted by UCD’s Kevin Barry Cumann. Éamon Ó Cúiv TD and Prof. Cathal Brugha provided great insights on that tumultuous period that ripped Ireland apart one hundred years ago and continues to divide us today.

After a running year beset by injury and apathy, I finally challenged myself to take on a 5K once again. The pace was sedate and I will admit to taking a few breaks along the way but as always, everything’s worthwhile once you complete the distance!

At tonight’s special meeting of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council to set the local property tax rate for 2022, I proposed a motion, on behalf of the Fianna Fáil group, to reduce the property tax by the maximum amount permitted, a full 15% reduction. (1/4)

One last collage from the 82ú Fianna Fáil Árd Fheis in the Dublin Royal Convention Centre. The two days culminated in two great speeches from Barry Andrews MEP and An Tánaiste, Micheál Martin TD. Now the hard work continues until 7th June…see you all on the campaign trail!

Hard to believe that 13 years have passed since my very enjoyable time in Trinity training as a teacher! I was delighted to meet the members of the Wolfe Tone Cumann this afternoon beside the Campanile and I also met some of my past pupils recruiting members for other societies.
